If you want it straight...It would cost less to buy a new turbo car and sell yours.

hey guys,

I'm in the middle of my swap right now just 6 bolt not jdm what about the starter will a 7 bolt starter still fit. It should. It's not really connected to the motor just the trans. I have been looking around and no one has mentioned you need a 6 bolt. I just got the starter like 4 weeks before the 7 bolt crankwalked :thumbdown

As long as you are using the manual trans then your starter is fine. The auto and manual starters are differnt but if you are keeping the same trans then the starter works fine.

Rizzo, ignore what is going on with the other people in this thread. They have turbo cars. Your car is equipped with the 420A so getting a 4G63 into it will cost way more then its worth. It is not a direct swap. Put a working 420A back in your car and trade it like Tallen said.
